If you’re of a delicate constitution you might want to sit down before see how he handles it.

I'm obliged LS. And I think we will all want a sit down when we learn the price...

I'm not worried about the price VBB as I know you'll stick it in the post to me to borrow after you've bought and read it!!! LOLOLOL

I have a 1970s reprint of said tome with a forward by Piggott and even they are about a hundred quid now so heaven alone knows what the original will go for.
I would in any case prefer a first or second edition of WS's Abury, it would be half the money I suspect, and although I have the paperback of that too the plates are spread over two pages back to back and it just aint the same.
